The fourteenth-century Catalan poem, La Reyna de Mallorques ( The Queen of Mallorca), was written by an anonymous imprisoned queen during the height of the conflict between the king of Aragon and the king of Mallorca in the late 1340s. Modern scholars believe the poem was authored by either Queen Constança of Aragon or Queen Violante of Vilaragut—the last two consort queens of Mallorca. The poem’s focus on love and the solitude of confinement makes it an important one for the histories of incarceration, the Troubadour genre of literature, and the history of Mallorca and the history of Mallorca itself. The poem survives in only two manuscripts housed at the Biblioteca de Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain: the 1429 Catalan translation of Giovanni Boccaccio’s Decameron (BC MS 1716) and the circa 1420–1430 songbook of Cançoner Vega-Aguiló (BC MS 7 and 8).

摘要

The fourteenth-century Catalan poem, La Reyna de Mallorques ( The Queen of Mallorca), was written by an anonymous imprisoned queen during the height of the conflict between the king of Aragon and the king of Mallorca in the late 1340s. Modern scholars believe the poem was authored by either Queen Constança of Aragon or Queen Violante of Vilaragut—the last two consort queens of Mallorca. The poem’s focus on love and the solitude of confinement makes it an important one for the histories of incarceration, the Troubadour genre of literature, and the history of Mallorca and the history of Mallorca itself. The poem survives in only two manuscripts housed at the Biblioteca de Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain: the 1429 Catalan translation of Giovanni Boccaccio’s Decameron (BC MS 1716) and the circa 1420–1430 songbook of Cançoner Vega-Aguiló (BC MS 7 and 8).
